Ursa for horn and piano

The great bear, Ursa Major (also known as the Big Dipper) has a tiny replica around the pole star, aptly title Ursa Minor. This piece is much more about bears than stars, though, the steady breadth of the mother bear contrasting to the flighty creativity of her cub. It was a great pleasure to write this piece for my colleague at the University of Akron, Margaret Tung.
